“Jayd and Ecko are seriously amazing! They updated me many times through out the days they watched my boy Jaxsun. He was a bit unsure with them at first but warmed up and was well taken care of. I highly recommend these two. I can’t thank them enough for tending to my pup! 10/10 😊”
“We booked with Elva and Matt for house sitting while we were on vacation. Our previous planned sitter had cancelled last minute and we are honestly so happy they did so we could meet Matt and Elva! Blu absolutely loved them and they took great care of him, as well as the house. Their communication was amazing and we got daily photos and updates of our little guy! We will definitely be booking again☺️”
About: Hi, I’m Ainsley! Dogs have been a massive part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my home was always filled with paws—giving me firsthand experience raising energetic puppies, keeping up with active adult dogs, and providing gentle, attentive care to sweet senior dogs. I’ve spent years pet-sitting for family members, treating their fur babies exactly like my own. Whether your dog needs a high-energy brisk walk, a slow and sniff-filled stroll, or just some extra patience and TLC, I’ve got you covered. I can’t wait to meet your pup and become their new favorite walking buddy! I have a fairly open schedule while school is out for the summer! I’m available most mornings for check-ins and walks, and most evenings for over night care. I’m willing to adapt to any space! I have plenty of experience with all types of animals, and am confident that I can care for yours.
“We have never left our pets for this long before so we were a bit nervous beforehand. Everything went great! We returned home to happy, well cared for pets. Thank you!!!!!”
“Kerry did a great job with our babies and communicated with us while we were in vacation about how things were going. In addition to taking care of the pets the house was tidy and he went above and beyond by taking our trash out to the curb. All the pets were I great spirits when we got home. Would recommend Kerry to family and friends.”
About: Hi, I’m Shelby! I’ve been pet sitting for over 12 years, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up with both dogs and cats gave me a lifelong love for animals of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, and multi-pet households. I’m comfortable administering oral medications when needed and always take the time to learn each pet’s unique routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. While I haven’t administered injectable medications yet, I’m eager to learn and am happy to follow your veterinarian’s instructions or the routine you’ve established if appropriate. I understand that every pet is different, and I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime, bedtime, and all the little details that help them feel at home. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is building lasting relationships with both pets and their owners. I’m fortunate to have many wonderful repeat clients who trust me with their furry family members time and time again, and I’m happy to provide references upon request. When I’m not at work, you can usually find me spending time with the pets in my care. I know how important consistency, companionship, and enrichment are, so you can expect your pets to receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, cuddles, and lots of love. Communication is one of my top priorities. Throughout your booking, you’ll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you always know how your pets are doing. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing they’re safe, happy, and being treated like family. I work a regular afternoon/evening schedule on some weekdays. Before accepting a booking, I’ll always discuss my availability with you to make sure it’s the right fit for your pet’s needs. If your pet requires frequent potty breaks or can’t be left alone for extended periods, we’ll make sure we’re a good match before confirming the booking. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless games of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I work full time swings typically 3p-10/12p it varies during the week. When I’m not working I’m a home body so your pets will have company with them most of the morning. I do know my schedule usually a month in advance so I am able to let you know before you officially book and you can decide if it works for you. I prefer to stay in their home which allows them to stay comfortable and in their own environment, new places can cause fur babies unnecessary stress and no one wants that. I prefer to keep their routine as normal as possible as well so if they get fed at 5 am I set an alarm to ensure they get fed at their normal time as well.
“Bailey was the sweetest thing and we were very grateful she could accommodate us through the weekend. She was very responsive every time we reached out via text and we appreciate her meeting us in advance to introduce the pups to her.”
“Traylor did an absolutely incredible job with our dogs and was very easy to adapt to our dog that has mega esophagus. Like other reviews have said, our house was left in a very clean state, and she even went above and beyond with cleaning the prepped dog food containers. We will be calling on her services again, for sure.”
“Brandi went above and beyond taking care of our dogs and other animals while we were out of town. She was very proactive with updates and photos/videos, we felt like we were in great hands the whole time and came back to find everything in good order and the dogs in high spirits which was wonderful. 10/10 hope she will help us again next time!”
“Haylie was so sweet and and kind caring for our dog. She kept us connected while we were away by sending pics and updates. She was great at communicating and a pleasure to work with.”
About: I grew up with all sorts of animals my whole life and have always taken great care of them. I also worked as a vet tech for 2 years on small and large animals so I am well equipped in animal health knowledge. I am well trusted by family and friends to take care of pets of all shapes and sizes! I am currently working about 3-4 days a week and am off by noon. My schedule is different every week so I am available for care any time after I’m off on the days I work and all day on my days off as well as on the weekend. I am flexible with all sorts of care. I am comfortable caring for animals that are indoor, outdoor, or crated. I am happy to take your dogs for walks as well!
“Aubrey was fantastic! She was so wonderful with our unique kitten. She played with her and kept her company and sent me so many updates and beautiful pictures! I’ll definitely be asking her to help us again!”
About: I grew up with dogs since I was about 4! I have a big family with lots of aunts and uncles that rely on me to take care of their dogs while they are gone on trips. I love getting to know pets with all different personalities. I work 8-5 five days a week with rotating days. I go straight back to your home after work and am able to spend the rest of the night with your pets. I have a lunch in the middle of the work day I can check on the pets depending on distance. I am easy to reach outside of sleeping hours and can give any updates needed. I keep a close eye on your pets and keep in touch if anything seems out of the ordinary with them to take the best action.
“She was awesome with our two dogs! This was our first trip where we used this service and we were nervous about how our dogs would do and trusting someone in our home. Clasie made sure to meet the dogs and us beforehand, which went great and then while watching the dogs she sent us updates and pictures. This made our experience with Rover great and I would highly recommend Clasie to watch your animals! Thank you again!”

Tayla was very kind and took great care of our Sammy girl! She washed the sheets and towels used which was not expected and we are appreciative of that extra step to leave the house clean for us! I would like a few more updates and pictures while we are gone to keep better communication (Sammy is our baby)! Other than that, she did wonderful and we would absolutely use her again! Thanks Tayla!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Roy on Rover is $49.95 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,710 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Roy. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Roy walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Roy maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Roy choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
